Watch Entered Test Mode: How to Factory Reset?

Londinium
over 4 years ago

Hi,

My Garmin Instinct Solar Surf entered a very strange test mode.

I can't seem to exit or reboot the watch.

Also, the Down/ABC button stopped working.

Is there a way to perform a factory reset?

Thank you,

Cheers,

    I immersed the watch in water for 24 hours, and the problem persists.

    Interestingly, the Down/ABC button is "clicking" normally, like the other three.

    Nevertheless, it seems like it is continually pressed, and that's probably the reason why it enters test mode.

    1) Navigate to the screen “Forced test mode”

    2) Hold the MENU key to change from ‘enabled’ to ‘disabled’

    3) Press and Hold the CTRL key to restart the watch

    The watch will then return to normal mode.
